MEET YOUR DESIGNER

My love of art began as a child with writing short stories and poetry. No matter where I looked, I saw a story to be told. I also admired my mother's decorating style - visually stimulating, classic and never trendy. Each room in our home held a story within it and I remember constantly rearranging my room because I was always perfecting its story.


After years of working creatively with brands and people on writing, visual design, styling, and decorating, Novel Design Studio allows me to combine my love of all things visual, whilst creating design stories unique to each client.


Our boutique design studio understands how deeply personal your home or your event is to you. We are here to help you invest in your "story" in a unique and meaningful way.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

"In 2019, Kristen helped design our wedding.

I wanted our wedding to be natural, soft, and delicate—but also elegant. She thoughtfully combined these elements and swiftly came back with proposed additions to our tablescape: Gold-dipped florals and fresh pomegranates. Even on paper, these elements helped distinguish our theme—and in execution they were even more stunning. She carefully accentuated each table with a practical bouquet. Kristen has a painter’s eye for detail and our adorned arrangements elevated our reception and more than exceeded our expectations." Lauren Vargus
